The elder lich stretched out his hand and uttered a spell. "Wraith of death!"
The air grew cold as he conjured dark energy from his scepter.
A chorus of haunting moans filled the hall. as tall gaunt figures wrapped in tattered, smoke-like robes erged from the scepter.
Their glowing red eyes burned with hunger and malice as they sward around , leaving trails of shadows in their wake
The lich laughed with a dry rasp. "IT’S THE END OF THE ROAD FOR YOU, BOY. ONE SINGLE TOUCH WILL DRAIN YOUR LIFE FORCE!"
The wraiths shrieked then lunged at . I closed my eyes and allowed them to phase through as many tis as they want.
The mont their ghostly form touched my body, they wailed in loud tortured screams.
Their forms began to dissolve into smoke and vanished.
The lich staggered back in shock. "WHAT IS THIS? YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD BY NOW!"
"Wraiths have no effect on ," I replied him, opening my eyes. "I bear the blessings of a Great Dragon. As such, Death magic has no hold over ."
The lich drew his head back in shock. "A GREAT DRAGON? IMPOSSIBLE. DRAGONS ARE EXTINCT. YOU ARE MAKING THIS UP!"
I pulled back my cloak and showed him the crest etched on my chest. "Does this look like I’m making anything up?"
A wave of fear must’ve rushed through him the mont he saw my dragon’s crest. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
"IT CANNOT BE!" He lanted. "I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT!"
"You had better believe it," I said, approaching him. "As long as I have this crest, no death magic can work on ."
The lich snarled then scread, "UNDEAD KNIGHTS, ATTACK HIM! SLAUGHTER THAT MONSTER!"
At his command, the undead Knight’s charged at , swinging their swords.
I had spent seven grueling hours practicing this magic that I learnt from the Red dragon’s library.
Now was a good ti to test it.
"Devouring Void," My golden eyes glead as I whispered under my breath. "
A micro black hole began to swirl in my palm.
In an instant, it doubled then tripled in size, swelling into a whirling darkness the size of a shield.
The gravitational pull from the black hole shook the courtroom, cracking the stones beneath my feet and pulling dusts into it’s center.
The undead Knight’s slowly lurched to a halt as the vortex force of the black hole began tearing their weapons from their hands and armour from their bodies.
The black hole grew wider and wider, expanding to the size of a barrel.
Using my hands, I guided it around the entire courtroom, sweeping it’s consuming abyss at the undead.
Tables, armours and bones were all dragged into the black swirling sphere along with the undead.
The lich dropped his scepter to the floor. He had seen enough and knew didn’t stand a chance against .
He knew that too well.
Fearing for his life, he tried to escape but it was already too late for him.
The vortex seized him into the black hole. He tried to claw his way to safety but the force of the black hole was so strong he was instantly sucked in.
"NOOOOO!" His voice stretched thin as the vortex swallowed him whole.
I snapped my finger and ended the spell. The black hole imploded with a thunderous boom and collapsed.
Silence gradually fell in the now empty courtroom.
The only one standing was .
I opened and closed my hand as I felt the last remnant of the spell dissipating from my palm.
"I can only use this spell once a day," I murmured. "It consus too much mana. But the result is totally worth it. Magic is so much fun."
My eyes landed on the scepter the lich dropped on the floor.
I bent over and picked it up. This scepter could summon a legion of undead. It might co in handy in the future.
I opened my Infinity Vault and put it inside. It’s a personal magic space that allows to store and retrieve items instantly.
Very handy.
"How did you do that?" A voice said behind .
I felt a chill wash over as I turned around sharply.
There she was, standing a stone throw away from and clutching hold of her staff.
I recognized her instantly. She’s the brave girl who rushed in first into Red Gate.
My jaws dropped. Don’t tell she saw everything.
"I saw everything," she said, approaching cautiously. There was a sparkle in her big brown eyes. "Can you teach how to beco a powerful mage like you?"
I stared at this girl, wondering to myself how to get out of this jam.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching from the other tunnels.
One by one, the rest of the other candidates erged from the tunnels and gathered in the courtroom.
They looked around, their eyes wide with surprise.
"The undead are all gone."
"Wow, soone finally defeated the summoner."
"I was having a difficult ti making it through. I could have died if their onslaught continued."
"But who could have defeated the summoner?"
The girl was still staring at . Before she could open her mouth to say sothing, I pointed my finger at her and uttered.
"She did it!"
